wright fraternal lodges are con-
sidering the matter of relief to

to form reception committees Lo
deal with returning soldiers;
that the Dominion government

particulars regarding the men
as they come in; that in filling
all vacancies ovcurring in the

should have the preference, and
that general meetings of the
provincial mayors should he

can be supplemented by a workable
system of butter grading, which will
ensure a fair discrimination in price
according to grade, the stimulus thus
given to everything which makes for
better quality will be very great.
The value of the grading of the
cream or butter lies in the fact that
it leads to payment on a quality
basis. It is the lack of this discrimt-

We are not concerned for the mo-

in this way, We, merely want to
point out a-few facts as briefly as
possible. ‘this tendency to strike an
average value neither encourages the
progressive putter maker who turns
out a superior article,
the indifferent or careless maker
whose product is of inferior quality.
Neither the creamery owner nor the
patrons of the creamery can be ex-

matter of quality when they -see
butter of widely different quality be-

Why Sume Fa
‘ : Poor

I passed the home of a farmer to-

day who.was reported
poor man,
children ,
from home. working out

as being
with a large family o

with

team. He did not have time to clear

much land, because he had to be

away nearly all the time to ce aa
et

‘enough {to buy groceries ‘and clot
the family,

would seem that everything in the
way of food would have to be bought.

There were not even enough pota:
toes growing on the place? to feed an
Irish family a month, and potatoes
are a good form of*food for every-
one. The vegetable garden and small
fruit garden were missing, and there
was not-even a flower to cheer, No
wonder tley were poor. People’ are
poor indeed when ‘there is not. thrift
enough in the mother, if. not in the
father, to have a garden. ~~

“Grow enough to eat,” should be
the motto of every settler, and this
can be done on a very small tract of
ground. Potatoes, beans and peas
make a pretty nice balanced ration
and with other vegetables and small
fruit and a cow and flock of hens
the poor man may have a table that
kings: might envy. It is a well known
fact that people, eat too much meat

and not enough vegetables. The
first clearing should be for.a gar-
den, and every child should learn

to work in the garden as soon as
they start to learn to work at their
lessons at school. There is absolute-
ly no excuse for not having a profit-
able garden ‘where there are child-
ren in the family over eight years
of age, even though the father has
to work. out.

Potatoes and’such vegetables as
onions, Carrots, parsnips, rutabagas
;and beans generally can be exchang-
ed for groceries. When they cannot
be traded they always can be fed
on the farm and converted into pro-
;} ducts that will sell. How often we
jnaye seen settlers buying salt pork,
|butter, and ever eggs and potatoes.
| When these products have to be
;Purchased on the farm, it is no
| wonder that the farmer has to work
out. ’
| How many farm homes are there
where the garden is lacking and
;wnere even pie-plant as a_ fruit
would be luxury... If the garden is
ore or neglected by the farmer,
|then the woman should arise to the
‘occasion and make it what it should
| be, especially where it may be the
i means. of providing the home against
poverty. .

A Hero of Anzac

Australians Miss ‘“Murphy’s Mules,”
For Murphy Is No More
There is many an Australian soldier
at the front today who blesses “Mur-
phy’s mules.” Murphy is, or was, a
hero of Anzac who never got mention-
ed in despatches, but he frequently fig-
ures in letters sant home by. the Aus-
tralians. Hig real name was Simpson,
but*for some unaccountable raason he
got the nickname of “Murphy.”
So many were the wounded who re-
quired to be. taken to- safety that Mur-
phy commandeered a’ pair of mules,
and officers connived at the “theft”
when they learned the noble. work he
was doing.
He used to leave the animals just
under the brow of “Braund’s Hill” and
dash forwaru himself into the firing
line to pick up.the wounded.
“Murphy’s voice near them sounded
like a voice from heaven,” the soldiers
said.
Day after day he climbed the hill,
smiling and cheery. But one day
“Murphy's mules” did not come. The
wounded cried out to the overworked
| stretcher brearers, “Fod God's sake,
send Murphy's mules.” .

Tle mules were found contentedly
grazing in Shrapnel Valley, but Mur-
phy had done hig last elim».

“Where is-Murphy?” cried one ofthe
rst battalion.

“Murphy is at Hedver’s gate,” re-
plied a serge. .nt, “helping the soldiers
through.”

The place for sweet clover is.on tht

land that has some alkali in it. In
some cases it will kill out salt grass—
and that's an acid test. It will grow
under favorable conditions where
other leguminous crops fail. Sweet

grow on the roots
the same as thos» found on the roots
of alfalfa, so it is an cxcellent crop
to grow before alfalfa. The bacteria
on the roots of red clover are not the
same as the alfalfa bacteria.
Sweet clover is not and never will
be equal to alfalfa or red clover in
feed production, where these crops
do well, This fact should never be
forgotten. Of course, with the pre-
sent»high prices of sged, there is
good profit in producing it, but some
day this demznd will be supplied, and
then the price of seed will be much
lower. Feed production is the basis
on which this crop must be judged
when considered as a permanent pro-
position—and it is not the equal of
alfalfa or red clover in’ this respect
when the conditions are favorab!e for
these crops. ~
There is no disposition to diseéur
age the intelligent growing of sweet
clover. Not at all.. The crop has
its place, which is on the poorer soils

and locations. But there has been
much misleading information about
this wessierful weed, which. some

persons would have you believe is to
be the most important Kansas leguin-
inous crop. I[t is time the crop was
judged. on the basis of its real worth.
It has its place, but this place is not
where alfalfa or red clover succecd

Animals in Berlin Become Vegetarians

The food questiom in Germany and
the necessity of conserving everything
jhas been quite a problem in Beriin
so far as feeding the animals in the
Zoological Park is concerned. The
}lions, tigers anc other animals that
| belong to the cat family still receive
j their horse meat, but the brown bea.s
must now be content with roots, raw
potatoes and scraps of other vege-
tables, and even their usual supply of
war bread has been cut off. The polur
bears, too, must do without their big
chunks of bread and be content with
the refuse of the fish markets. The
zebras, giraffes, antelopés and deer
no longer can munch clover, but are
fed wtilh turnips, potatues and other
vegetables. The fl€amingoes and
| other meat-eating birds no tonger re-
ceive meat, but must satisfy-their ap-
petites with vegetables alao. With the
exception of the lions and tigers a
strictly vegetable- diet las been en-
forced in the Zoological Garden of
Berlin, and while the officials report
that the avimals do not
it, still they have submitted to the in-
evitable and eat what they get rather
than go hungry.

A Bocn for the Bilious.—Thie liver is
ja very sensilive organ and easily de-
ranged. When this occurs there is un-
due secretion of bile and the acrid li-
quid flows into the stomach and sours
it. It is a most distressing ailmen’,
and many are prone,to it. In this
{condition a man finds the best remedy
jin Parmelee’s Vegetable Pills, which
are warranted to speedily correct the
(disorder. There is no petter medicine
in the entire list of pill preparations.

Cutting off Germany From the Outside. World

, After having spent. éight months

in England, and taking aavantage of

f every opportunity to study the apera-

; tions of the British navy, Mr. J. Her-
bert Duckworth is able to produce in

the New York Sun-one-of tlie jnost in-

teresting articles that has’ appeared

on this ¢ubject. He says: ‘‘Fenced in

while other heavy pieces at Bally-

not strung out in a large semt-circle
in front of Heligoland waiting to be
sent to the pottom by undersea boats.
By piercing together such trifles as
admiralty warnings and instructions
to pilots posted at naval bases, by
watching fractions of the fleet at
such places as Dover, Sheerness,

by keeping one’s eyes open it was

Open Convalescent
3 Homes in Can
Cmimissign at tena Prepared to

Care For Invalided Soldiers
Provision has already been made by

the Military hospital and Convalescent |,

Homes commniission, under the chair-
manship of Hon, Senator Lougheed,
for the accommodation in elevén con-
valescent homes throughout Canada of
some 600 invalidéd Canadian soldiers.
Before the winter’ is over it is esti-
inated that some 2,000 men will have
been looked after by the commission
and suitably taken,care of after their
arrival in Canada until discharged
from the service by the military medi-
cal boards. §So far as the commission
has been able to do it, every invalided
soldier who-has so far returned from
the front has been looked after. In
any. case where a returning soldier
has pot been placed in a convalescent
home it is becausé he has not applied
for such.accommodation, or the com-
mission has not been able to find him.

A statement as to what has so far
been accomplished by the commis-
ison and what it plans to do is given
by Senator Lougheed. The first big
problem of looking after the men still
suffering from wounds or illness has
been adequately and comprehensively
handled. The larger problem of pro-
viding means of livelihood for the men
who have been invalided out of the
service, and also for the tens of thous-

) ands of soldiers who will return after
‘the war is over, is now being taken up

by. the commission in co-operation
with the various provincial govern-
ments, the Manufacturers’ association
and other representative podies whose

More Shells Needed .
Allies Will Hew Way to Berlin by

Albert Thomas, French minister of
munitions, who has returned
london, granted an interview
headquarters in the Claridge:

“There is no need to make a mys-
tery of my visit to London,” he said.
“My conversation with Lloyd George
led to an agreement by which the
two governments will exchange what
we call first materials. That is to
say, certain products of the soil of
France will be exchanged for certain
products from England.

“Take the case of a’particular chem-
ical used
plosives and dyes. In the ordinary.
way the surplus of material required
for national defence would be allowed
to French manufacturers. Now, by
virtue of our agreement, England will
have a supply and French manufac-
turers Will only get the remainder. It

yee is the nation first, you percieve. MKng-
land will do exactly the same for us.

“Have we enough shells? you ask.
Of course, we jiave not, and we never

the more we want.

Russia Today is.Stronger Than at Be-

“We have been prepared for such.an

to Bulgaria, and when the war is. over
there will be no auch country in exist-
ence.”

This was the reply of Vladimir V.
Ber, one of the’ most
Russian citizens now in England, on
behalf. of the Russian war munitions
committee, when asked the effect on
the «ntry of Bulgaria into the war
would have on Russia.

“Bulgarians will not want
the Russians,” he continued,

to fight
“but the

Russians will surely fight the Bul-
Zarians now that they have turned

| traitors to Russia.”

Ile not only stamped as worthless
fabrications reports emanating from
| yerman sources of the tendencies to-
ward revolution in Russia, and the
growth of sentiment for «a separate
peace, but declared emphatically that
Russia is stronger today than at the
beginning of the war.

“So far as we are concerned,” he
remarked, “Russia is only just begin-
ning.” Referring to his work with
regard to the munitions problems, he
said: “Perhaps I shall be here for two
years more.” His inference was evi-
dent. Russia was making contracts
‘for munitions for periods of two years.
He continued:

to carry on the war as Jong as may be
necessary. Germany will be
ed. She is fighting now without re-
serves. Besides, no nation can sur-
vive when it has based its relations
with the world on lies and deceit, and
when its leaders and government de-
liberately mislead their own people.”

New Arctic Port

Employing Americans to Rush Comple-
tion of the Railroad Line to
Ekaterina

In preparation for a second winter
campaign, the Russian government
has sent to America for a small army
of skilled mechanics and _ railroad
builderg in order to push at the great-
est possible speedthe construction ofa
great railroad system which is being
put through virgin forest to the north
of the Arctic circle. j

Following the discovery by the Rus-
sian government that the port of Hka-
terina, although well within the Arétic
circle, was ice-free throughout ‘the
year, plans were made to open and dde-
velop the port a8 a military base
Throughout the past winter supplies
from the outside World came. into Rus-
sia either by steamer around the North
Cape to Archangel or across the
|Pacifie to Vladivostock and overland
‘to Petrograd or Moscow by the trans-
| Siberian Railroad, The route through
| Vladivostok had it8 drawbacks, aside
;from the constant.cold and the condl-

|tion of the cars, in the uncertainty of

|the Panama canal. Only last week a
fleet of several vessels arrived at Col-
on, Jaden with supposed munitions of
war for the Russians, and is now wait-
ing the clearance of the channel before
proceeding on its way to Vladivostok.
With the closing of the Baltic to
Russian commerce, Archangel remain-
ed the only port open for supplies from
the rest of Europe. Archangel, the
!most northerly point in the railroad
i system of Europe, was available as a
‘port only for a limited number of
;} months, because of the ice barrier. Ice
\ breakers from Canada and the Great
Lakes were able to keép the port open
‘fora short period, but in spite of their
‘efforts Archangel was closed for three
months last winter.

In 1895 the Russian government

) founded the town ef Alexandroysk, in
}the extreme corner of the province of
' Archangel, more than 600 miles north

of the capital and within a few leagues |

,of the Swedish border. With Alexan-
drovsk. was jater incorporated” the
town of Ekaterina or Yekaterina, Kka-
,terina, by virtue of a backwash of the
Gulf Stream sweeping east around the
‘North Cape, is ice free throughout the
‘whole winter.

the Russian government appreci-
ated the advantage, trom a military
standpoint at least, of having lWkater-
ina less remote and better developed
{as a supply base. American engineers
; Were caled in to construct a railroad
system running due south from Wka-
terina to Kem, on the White Sea, al-

most equidistant from Ekaterina and
‘Archangel, joining an already con-

Petrozavodsk,
with

istructed railroad at
iwhence communication was easy
, Petrograd and Moscow.

The Kem-Petrozavodsk railroad sys-
‘tem, double tracked throughout, has
already been completed, The cold
weather and the certainty of another
winter campaign prompted the Rus-

sian governmen to undertake the com- |

pletion of the vitally important rail-
way system, and a call was sent
} America for skilled workmen able to
stand the rigors of the long northern
winter.

A promise of a six months’ contract
is held out to the men applying for the
jobs, with half pay during the passage
to Russia and return. Transportation

Many Canadian Children
Receiving No Education

Serious News Regatding Saskatche-
wan Schools in Non-English
Settlements
(Contributed ‘by Norman F. Black,
M.A., D.Paed.,. Regina)

The great non-political campaign of
disoussion on educational topics, in-
augurated on the invitation of Premier
Scott and Mr. Willoughby, leader of
the Opposition, is bringing prominent-
ly ‘to the attention of the people of
Saskatchewan many facts of a very
startling character. If a primary pur-
| pose of the elementary schools is to
; prepare the rising generation in this
province for the rights, privileges and
duties of ‘citizenship in an Wiiglish-
speakigg and self-governing commun.
ity, it iseevident that the people must
face the facts in a serious and non-
partisan manner and help the anthori-
ties to enact and enforce proper mea-
sures of reform. .

Professor Oliver of Saskatoon has,
through Saskatchewan Publit Educa-
tion League, made public the results
of a very extensive investigation made
iby him with regard to conditions in
| non-English settlements. Everyone
knows, of course, that many hundreds
of Saskatchewan children are growing
up with no education at all. For ex-
ample there are some 1,100 Commun-
ity Doukhobors in northeastern Sas-
katchewan, none of whom send their
children to school. Hundredg of other
{children of non-English-speaking jpar-
; entage, though receiving a nominal
) schooling, generally in parochial
schools, are receiving either no_ in-
i struction at all in English or else so
little as to be entirely inadequate

This state of affairs characterizes
{numerous districts where, despite the
\Jaw of the land, no public schogls are
; being maintained. For example, in the

| Dr. Oliver found seventeen villages
and communities without any public
schools. The many hundred Mennon-
ite children of these localities are de-
pendant for their education on paroch-
jjal schools not at present subject to
jany f£overninent supervision whatever.
}In the schools of 800 of these young
citizens of Saskatchewan, no word of
| aglish is ever taught or spoken. Dr.
| Oliver is authority for the statement,
| based upon his own personal observa-
| tion. that not a single teacher in
|
H

charge of any of these children knows
Kenglish himself well enough to be able
to teach it to anybody else.

|; In the vicinity of Humboldt also,
Dr. Oliver found many German dis-
jtricts in which independent private |

j schools, conducted at. least half the
‘day in German, are being maintained
(instcad of public schools, with a view
{to avoiding all government control
; over the subject-atter and method of
the education extended to the children.

‘In at least some of our French set-
| ements also Dr. Oliver found that in-
| sufficient attention is being devoted to
| familiarizing the children with the
! English Janguage.

|} Dr. Oliver has also made a special |
study of a rural municipality in the}
northeastern part of the province, set-

tled almost exclusively by Douklobors
jand Ruthenians. Of a hundred homes

fat which he made personal visits, only |

three provide readers for any Can-
adian newspaper published in Mnglish.
; The Ruthenian papers taken etand de-
{ finitely for resistance to the process of
‘national assimilation. Jn ten schools

‘visited in this locality he found only

sixteen children representing Knelish- !

speaking families. In eight out) of
fourteen schools the teachers were
Ruthenians and in many cases they
(were using their mother tongue freely
to supplement the instruction in Kng-
lish. Of the 25 Ruthenian teachers in
one inspectorate, the school inspector
classified 6 as doing good work; 10
jfair, and 9 poor. Of the 200

{
{

ratepayers are Ruthenian, 75 or &0
Pemploy Ruthenian teaghers, less than
ia dozen of whom hold professional cer-
tificates.

GERMAN PRESS CONTINUES CAMPAIGN OF SLANDER: i

Some Silly Stories Regarding the British Fieet—Success of the
Big War Loan is also a Subject for Sarcastic Comment

From the German Newspapers fe

No feature of the Huropean war has
been more galling to the Germans than
the magnificent manner in which Brit-
ain’s overseas empire has rallied spon-
taneously round the flag of the mother-
land. It will ever remain to their glory
that within twenty-fours hours of the
declaration of war Australia, New Zea-
land, Canada, South Africa, India and
even the small and remote outposts of

|the empire were clamoring to send
| their sons to France to fight the old
country’s battle for freedom and hon-
or. Now, fourteen months later, after
tasting all the horrors of the new war-
fare evolved by the satanic ingenuity
of the Huns, their enthusiasm burns
(as flercely as ever, and more and yet
;More men, knowing full well what they
have to face, are hastening across the

seven seas to help the motherland to |

victory. :

All this is gall and wormwood to
Germany, and her press, acting under
ordérs, loses no opportunity of decry-
ing “these- deluded colonials,’ of im-
pugning their courage or of inventing

all about the formidable losses at the

‘stant quarrels and fights between Kng-
\lish and Australian soldiers, and so
the Englishmen's urgent cry for help
remains unanswered in that quarter.

_“ ‘Her rest is as effective as her ac-
tion,’ says Mr, Milne, alluding to Brit-
ain’s fleet. We make bold to transpose
this phrase so that jit runs, ‘Her action
is as effective as her rest, "" ;

It has been a matteft of conimoh
knowledge for some time that the new
German war loan has proved more or
less of a faflure, and the Cologne Ga-
ette now revealg the fact that it is
more rather than less:

; “There are still large numbers of
people who have not subscribed to the
war loan, There must, undoubtedly,
remain many of our 75,000,000 who can
afford to lend $25 to $30 to the coun-
(ry, but so far only 2,690,000 persons
have subscribed to the loan.

Where are the other miliona? Are
these people ready, for the sake of a
hundred marks, to give our ‘enemies
ground for their widespread — state-
;}Ments that Germany has arrived at
the end of her financial resources, or
have they no faith in the future of
the empire and. in its power to redeem
{its pledges *®
“As things stand at presént tho een-
} era] supply of the war loan is ccrteain-
ly not of a character to justify us an
holding up our heads very proudly bes
fore the world.”

The Hamburg Naclrric hten, however,
| still keeps np the farce of pretending
that it has been a transcendent
cess,

“In Germany, of coirsa, the utterly
unneutral machinations of American
bankers, such as Morgan, to secure
for England—to their own profit nat-
urally—the ‘silver bullets’ she so sore-
ly needs to prolong this hellish war,
will be regarded witn ontraged fee]-
ings, but we have no cause whatever
for disquietude. On the contrary, the
‘spectacle of ‘free,’ ‘haughty’ and ‘un-

‘loan on the doorstep of American dol-
lar princes should cheer us gre itly.

‘THE PART OUR WOMEN ARE PLAYING

4° EN WRSIT DOWN AND THINK for a few minutes
¥ and our thoughts turn to the realities of war, its pains,
‘its torments and its devastation, the mind gradually reverts to
© Women folk— the wives and mothers‘of our soldiers. . We
tink of the pain and grief being borne by them as the result
‘of the demands ot war, and we realise, justa little, the part
r brave womon are playing in the great struggle. We must
think their fight a great fight, one that surely equals that being
fought by their men on the red battle line.
5 “Indeed, the women are fighting in this great war. They
are fighting the tormenting pain that separation brings, the
stinging grief that’ is sv often | brought to bear in the awful
death-telling letters that briefly and silently unfold the truth
that, “bravely he died in action”. We can picture the grey-
faired mother as she sitsday after day thinking of the boy
she murtured in the days not longage. But we cannot feel
Hier pain as she sits waiting and hoping. Neither can we share
her grief when that silent official note comes. This mother
krows. the pains of war; she knows war's demands.
. And we can picture the young wife. Snehas not senta
gon. Her husband has gone. As she sits by the window, we
can hear her tender offspring—-clinging to her side—inquiring
about soldier daddy. But as inthe case of the grey haired
. mother, we cannot fully imagine what war means to that
young wife. We know it means pain, for suffering is written
on every line of her face, We have no doubt that she ia@v ffer-
ing. But wedo not know how much and for how long ior it’s
‘beyond our comprehension. What we do know, however, is
‘that she: is playing a woman's part in this. great war, We
know she hasecuffered and will continue to suffer— silently.
This young wife, like her husband, is fighting for theallied
cause. And theonly difference between them is their battle
ground. The husband is fighting his fight on crimson stained
‘fields of France aud Belgium. The wife is grimly fighting her
ht within the confines of her own home.

ACALL OF DUTY-:-THAT’S ALL

| N THE.COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW WEEKS an appeal
R will be madeto thefarmersoef the Wainwright constit-
uency for donations toward the Canadian Patriotic fund. This
arpeal will follow that made to residents of the town of Wain-
wright recently when all gave a sympathetic response by good
contributions, Indoing this, people of Wainwright realised,
ae’ we all must realise, that force of duty compelled them to
contribute liberally and well—to this the greatest of all funds,
The Canadian Patriotic Fund.

“Phe appeal is not a charity appeal. A plain matter of duty
confronts all residents of this fair constituency, This matter
of duty constitutes the appeal and the appea! asks that all
avd sundry, rich and poor, high and low, do their level best to
aid in the support of those who have been left without bread-
winners as 4 result of the demands of war. To look after the
dependents of our fighting men, to see that every reasonable
need is met, isthe duty of thecitizens who remain at home.

The course open to us then is todo what we can; to give
whatever aid may be expected of us, Thus, when farmers of
this district receive the appeal to contribute tothe Canadian
Patriotic fund, the appeal in itself willbe acallof duty. It
will ask that support be given to a laudable phase of this our
war—the keeping in comparitive comfort of all those who
have been left without fathers and husbands. Let us do what
wecan and let itnot be said of us that we have shirked our
duty. N

That was one against tw in terms of

of course, as one may be better pre-

Therefore, warfare in which for each
Englishman, each Frenchman, each
Russan and each Italian soldier killed
a German or an Austrian soldier also

Germany. One German might in the

Teutonic militarist could expect more).
and the disaster would be only a short

From the outset it must have been

besides, at the very first, the Germans
had the numerical superiority in effec-

was partly potential; Germany’s was
actual. Therefore, Germany had to
win the war before it could settle down
to a contest in killing, before her ad-
versaries could begin to force her to

Optimists Wanted |

Cannot be too Much Optimism in Can-
ada, and Every Bit is Fully
Justified
There is reported from the
York Stock Exchange a regular epi-
demic of buying, the orders coming
from all over, the country. The stock,
exchanges are generally accepted a;
the. best possible barometers by
which to gauge trade conditions, and
adopting that standard the news trom
New Yorl: is decicedly welcome. It
is to be hoped that the epidemic will
prove infectious, and will travel to
this country as quickly and as widely
as possible.
Here in Canada there has certainly
been a revival of trade activity during
recent months, and when it comes to
a head it may sweep the manufactur-

into a
great wave of prosperity. It will not
bes merely a question of meeting the
increased demand for all lines of

it headlong at a pace to break men and | goods, but of building up stocks that
beasts, all of which was with one aim, | have peen allowed to become deplet-

namely, to win a war against superior
numberg by ‘strategy. And every ef-
fort has been baffled. No army has
been captured; no great military deci-
sion has been won; but, on the con-
trary, non-Teutonic Europe's potential
force has’ become actual, and Ger-
many's enemies in their own way may
exchange Englishmen, Frenchmen,
Russians and Italians for Germans
with the absolute certainty that the
supply of Germans will run out.

With thig in mind, the allies’ drive
on the western:-front assumes to Ger-
many an ominous aspect. In the Cham-
pagne country, where’ in the year 451
Attila, the Great Hun, King of the Bar-
barians from the North Sea to the
boundaries of China, was defeated by
the Romans and their Christian allies,
the Franks and Visigoths, the French
in the year 1915 may fail to break the
German -line and fold it back against
itself. disastrously, which would be a
triumph combining both killing and
strategy. Further north the Anglo-
French forces may fail to bend back-
ward through Flanders the top of that
same line, breaking it away from the
English Channel. Strategically, that {s
to say. the operation may be thwart-
ed by the Germans, and yet they are
bound to lose by it irretrievably in an-
other way. It forces them to exchange

life on fairly even terms and that is:

the very thing they can least afford
to do. It brirgs them rapidly nearer
to the point of being overwhelmed by

sheer numbers in competitive killing. |

That the Teutonie allies have failed
io gain one decisive triumph and have
now to face the arithmetic of their
physical inferiority is a fact which
cannot be concealed and no doubt ex-

plains the anxiety of German comment |

on the allied offensive at the west. All
that Germany has won is territory,
which; in the event of a capital strat-
egic victory she might have been able

to trade upon, but which, in any other}

case, she will be obliged to defend with
declining relative forces. Her terri-
torial successes in Russia require to
be held by a line so long and vulner-
able that to weaken it much -by trans-
ferring men to the western front would
invite disaster. They are, in that
senses, a liability. Russia has only to

bide her time and produce numbers be- |

yond Germany’s power to resist. In
eevry other way Germany hag failed.
Her airships, her submarines, her

frightfulness, all have failed, and she |

is reduced to the arithmetic of killing.
In that direction lies certain and utter

defeat. And the fact of its having come !

to this closes the door to further hope
of a miracle in the art of war- which

alone could avert or postpone disaster. |
No wonder the thought has occurred to |

Berlin of defending Germany on the
Rhine.—New York Times.

Treatment For BargWire Injuries

After’ a barb-wire accident, do not
apply axle grease or any rancid oint-
ment to the wound. Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
close as possible

any hair or other’ foreign substance.
When sand or hair has lodged in the
depths of a deep cut, never use a wet
sponge .to,clean it out. Use a piece
of absorbent cotton or cotton batting.
There will be much less rjsk of in-
fection. It will be useless to put
stitches in a wound that is very deep

more than a source of amusement,

veloped and extended, and now it is
finding its way into our educational
systems. The agricultural! college of
Washington is adopting it as a
means of carrying the intormation of

the college, even to the short course
in the winter time. so the college is
jgvoing to the farmer and it is going
to him through the moving pieturs.

The farmer should gain consider-
able Knowledge by this means which
he otherwise would not get. To have
